That's probably not a very good description...

In the tutorials with the resolution set to 1024x768, popup menus can be moved about the screen, the one for instance that appears when you click on a TG icon.

However at 1280x1024, the default resolution of my monitor, this is not the case. The menus are stuck in place, sorta like tacked to the screen, on top of the map.

I'm also having some problems with menus being "impersistant" (lol), in that they will sometimes disappear before I can click on an item that I wish to select.

This is sometimes so pronounced, on the strike-creation screen, that I have to be one helluva a fast clicker to hit the "launch" button before it disappears.

Not sure if this is relates to your problem, but - once you anchor a menu, you will need to 'anchor-up'  to be able to move it again. 
To do this, click on the anchor icon at the top of the menu and you should find it can now be dragged wherever you like.

Well, that took care of the frozen menus, thanks!

I'm still having the problem with menus and menu items disappearing or changing before I can click on them, though.

Another example on the strike-creation screen is with the little a/c types that are clickable. When I click on one, the type info is displayed, the F4F information for instance. But, before I can read it, the info display reverts back to the first type shown, in the case of my carrier screeny, the TBD.

Thoughts anyone?

I believe that "un-anchoring" the menus may have also resolved my disappearing button.

Time will tell! [;)]

Hmm thats strange. Some windows will update every 5 minute increment, which leads to some funny behaviour when you are navigating a menu whilst the clock is running. Have you got the clock stopped while you are selecting from the menus?

Hi Alex,

It's the clock that's doing it. On the strike screen, items/options, like the launch button, revert to the default when the clock advances.
